~ my winter romance ~

I just finished a project with one of the natural yarns I told you about previously and I love it.

I loved creating this pair using textured cotton yarn (Organic Inca Cotton in Natural by Galler Yarns) and back loop half double crochet.The yarn was easy on my hands and it added depth and excitement to a repetitive stitch pattern. This particular cotton yarn is also incredibly durable. It was able to withstand multiple rip backs and still looks great (phew).I also used one of my tried and true go to stitches, the half double crochet rib stitch. I love half double crochet ribbing because of its versatility, texture, and flexibility.These two favorites of mine make the perfect pair; my ~winter romance~ patterns now available: cottony cowl, charming cuffs, rosy heart

My hopes for this blog include to enable others to experience the joys of handiwork. I am far from an expert on any aspect of the subject area. I just have a passion for it and enjoy sharing that passion with others. I am good for making up a way to do something when I can't find a way in a book or elsewhere. I am good for doing things in unconventional ways. I don't always use the "proper" lingo and I don't always execute tasks the "normal" way. This disclaimer is by no way an excuse to mislead or make things difficult for anyone. It is just to say that I am a little weird (proudly), I am not perfect and I make mistakes. I welcome and urge you to bring mistakes to my personal attention and I am willing to help anyone in anyway I can. I just ask that you please be kind, patient and bear with me on this journey. Thanks so much.
